BUTTE, Mont, June 7.-Detective M.
Cleary, of the Utah Northern, today
arrested L evils Boyer, wealthy ranch
man, charged with placing rails across
the track near Silver Bow Junction for
the purpose of wrecking passenger
train, three attempts having been made
the past six weeks. Thomas Bocard,
his accomplice, it is reported. divulged
the news to Cleary. Both are in Jail.
The cause assigned is that Boyer sued
the company for $500 some time ago
for killing a valuable bull. The jury
awarded him damage to the amount of
1926. The passenger train, however,
was doomed to be wrecked. After
proceeding to Feely station, thirty
miles further south, last night, it ran
into drove of cattle which capsized
the engine, mail and baggage cars. j.
w. Else, the engineer, and Fireman
Davis were badly scalded, and the bag
gage and mail clerks bruised. The
passengers were more or less
shaken up, but none were hurt seri-
ously.

The Awful Mistake Made by Negro
Murderer.

MEMPHIS, June 7.-On Saturday
night a plantation on the Arkansas
shore of the Mississippi river, opposite
Fulton, Tennessee, was the scene of a
double murder. A singular feature of
the crime was that the murderer. a
negro named Sam Hays, mistook his
victim for his mistress and his rival.
upon whom he sought to wreak ven
geance. He lay in wait for them on
the bank of the river, thinking to kill
them when they returned from Fulton.
where they had been frolicing. In the
darkness lie saw man and woman
cross over in skiff and land near him,
and supposing them to be the couple
looked for, shot them down. The man,
who proved to be negro named John
Strickland, was killed instantly. The
woman, who was Strickland's wife,
was mortally wounded. Hays fled
down the river, but was captured and
brought back to this city, where he
now lies in Jail, at the disposal of the
Arkansas authorities.

High Priced Experience.

TRACY, MINI, June 6.-J. ]. Harti-
gan, of this place, has been victimized
to the amount of $11, 900. A stranger,
named Powell, came along and pro-
posed to start a bank. The organiza-
tion was effected and the concern
started, though Powell put in no capi-
tai to speak of. He then issued a GER
tifcate of deposit to an alleged brother
at Tracy for $1,000. The brother went
east and had the certificate cashed by a
bank in New York. Before cashing
the certificate the New York parties
telecraphed to Powell at Tracy and re-
ceived the reply that the money was
on deposit. Having worked his deep
laid scheme Powell skipped out of
Tracy as soon as he had finished his
part in assisting his brother to have
the bogus certificate cashed. Hartlgan
is liable under the act of incorpora-
LiOn.

st. Louis. The following is reported
as the passage between them:
Gen. Tuttle said: "The Grand Army
does not propose to lend itself to any
political scheme, and they won't boom
Cleveland. Just as sure as am here 7
tell you they will insult and snub him
If he comes here"
"1f they do" said Gen. Noble. "I'll

Tuttle. "but we despise the man that is

GROVER COMING.

The Presidents Plans Partially
Formed.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-There is ey
cry reason to believe that the promise
which the president made to the st
Louis delegation, that he would, if he
could, visit their city next fall, will bt
Kept and that visit will only be com
paratlvely small feature of the great
and extensive trip he has been plan
nlng and arrangements for which will
be consummated on his return to the
wnlte house. The president has seen
put little of the United States. He
has during his life travelled but little
outside the state of New York. He
has never been in the west at all, but
ne has made up his mind of late that
1t Will be to his personal and political
advantage to make an elaborate Jour.
ney this year. His wife has persuaded
hlm to do so as matter of pleasure
and several democratic politicians
chief among whom is Postmaster
general Villas, have urged him to do
SO as matter of practical politics.
They have told hina that the demo-
Gratis in the west and northwest are
anxious to see him, and that his pres
ence in some of the states may have
an encouraging effect on party organ
lzation. The fact is, he intends to 20
good deal further in the direction of
the setting sun than St. Louis. If the
president makes his arrangements he
will leave this city the first week in
August, and will probably remain
away till the first of October. He will
travel in a special car, containing
members of his immediate household
and two Or three cabinet officers. The
intention is to go clear across the con-
tinent to the Pacific coast. He will
visit Ohio, Indiana and Missouri.
Postmaster General Villas is anxious
that he should make q good impress
sion in the states in time for the fall
election. He intends to explore the
territories and the line of the Northern
Pacific railroad, and it is now his plan
to go as far as Portland, Oregon.
1t is probable Mrs. Cleveland will
make the trip with the president. Dan
Lamont will spend ten days in camping
out in the Yellowstone region. Post
master General Villas will leave moth
ing undone to work up the journey for
all it is worth. Politicians in the vari-
Gus states through which the presi-
Dental party will pass, will be in
structed to stir up popular enthusiasm
in order to bring about good effect on
the autumn election. The president
has determined that this journey shall
be made entirely at his own personal
expense. The trip will cost HIM not
less than $4,000 for the sixty days over
which it will extend. A leading men,
Der of the administration said today:
"The president is anxious to know
more about his country than he does,
and he often finds his imperfect knowl-
edge in this respect source of en-
barrassment. He has also been moved
to make the journey in order to crafty
his wife's love of travel. He fears,
however, that the south will be jealous
of the fact that the president has gone
into the west instead Of spending his
time in the southern states.''

General Rosecran,, Fish Story.

General Rosecrans tells wonderful story
about a curiosity in the possession of the
Society Of California Pioneers. 1t is a sec
tion of timber taken from the side of the
Powhattan, including portion of the skin,
which is four inches thick, and piece of
the abutting knee, which is nine inches
thick. Transversely through the whole
swordhsh has dashed his sword, and the
portion broken off is still left imbedded in
the timber. The sword pierced through
fourteen inches Of solid oak, and the fish
was going in the same direction as the
vessel, which was under a good head of
steam. An idea Of the strength which
must have been exerted can be obtained
from the fact that rifled six-pounder
could not have done more than pierce that
thickness Of wood. People on the vessel
state that they felt the shock caused by
the blow, and thought that they had struck
something floating beneath the surface.
The sword Is over six inches wide at the
broadest point, where it is broken off.
